The PLA module provides computation of optimal placement of xNFs over VIMs by matching NS specific requirements to infrastructure availability and run-time metrics, while considering cost of compute/network.
Please refer to the PLA User's Guide for a description on how to enable and configure the placement functionality.
The preferred method to run the PLA unit test is to use tox.
$ tox
Please note that some of the unit test modules have dependencies to Minizinc, e.g. test_mznmodels.py and test_mznPlacementConductor.py. If these tests are to be performed outside a PLA container context, like .e.g. from CLI or from within an IDE, setup the environment as follows (linux example):
$ sudo snap install minizinc --classic $ sudo mkdir -p /minizinc/bin $ sudo ln -s /snap/bin/minizinc /minizinc/bin/minizinc
PLA is an optional module in OSM. It is installed together with OSM by adding --pla to the install script.
$ ./install_osm.sh --pla
